England Travels

My Mom and my cousin Rachel just left yesterday after being here for two weeks. We traveled all over this area of England while they were here. We visited Stonehenge, Bath, Cadbury World in Birmingham, Stowe Gardens, Waddesdon Manor, Blenheim Palace, Stratford-upon-Avon (Shakespears hometown), Sulgrave Manor (the home of George Washington's ancestors), and London and one day they went to Oxford on there own. While in London we went to Madame Tussauds Wax Museum, road the London Eye, and toured Westminster Abbey. And of course we saw the clock tower that holds Big Ben along with the Parliment buildings, Trafalger Square and the Statue of Lord Nelson and the four Lions (behind scaffolding), Buckingham Palace, St. Pauls Cathedral, The Tower Bridge and took a walk in St. James Park. Needless to say we kept busy. But we also relaxed a few days, went to a couple different pubs, scouted for good deals at boot sales. We had a great time and I am glad they were able to visit. Jen and I only have 3 months left here in England so we won't likely have any more visitors from the states before we go back.

Speaking of which... we are due to PCS (permanent change of station) back to the US in October... and we do not know where we are going yet. :( I'll let you know as soon as I know.
